Chocolate covered strawberries: easy to make, delicious to eat.
After Chris and I made angel food cake for the Super Bowl last week, we had five strawberries left over. I made a chocolate sauce and dipped them and they were wonderful. The only problem was that there were only five. Solution? Buy a fresh package of strawberries and dip them all.
Wanna do it yourself? Combine and melt over very low heat:
- two or three one-ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate squares (or chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon butter
Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Take off the heat, and wait until the chocolate is cool enough to touch, but still melted enough to drip freely off a spoon or spatula. Dip strawberries, place onto a flat surface, and chill. Wait 15 or minutes, then eat.
And yes, Alex, yours look better!
